'cameria flash' board origionally designed for GPS components?
I recently had to replace my speaker on a verizon xv6700
To my surprise i think the cameria flash board has a GPS reciever chip layed out but no components. It looks like the board is missing the GPS chip (6 pin IC with 4 pin metal cover/shield) itself and what looks like a serial level shifter (10 pin IC)
Tracing it briefly i can only seem to find a DATA IN (gps to phone) I was hoping to locate the DATA OUT (for programming the gps unit) and once located, send some test data to the GPS port and capture it on an oscilliscope - this would confirm that this is infact a real GPS chip layout and they never put the chip on due to cost or some other factor.
This means once we figure the pinouts you can get any old GPS reciever chip and solder it onto this board and enable real GPS
has anyone else noticed this??
